In reply to: [Wired Impact Volunteer Management] Tracking ParticipationThanks for reaching out @atambagahan. When someone signs up for a volunteer opportunity, they are tracked as having participated. You can view how many volunteer opportunities each person has participated by going to Volunteer Mgmt >> Volunteers within the WordPress admin.
If you click on an individual person you can see which opportunities specifically they have signed up for.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

In reply to: [Wired Impact Volunteer Management] Plugin not sending confirmation emailsThanks for all the information. It’s possible your server is blocking the emails from going out. A lot of servers do that to prevent spam or mass emails from being sent. Do you have anyone internally who can check and see if that’s the case?
Also, if try to avoid using the words “test” or “testing” in the subject line or body. We’ve also seen servers block emails that include those words.
Finally, if that doesn’t work I’d suggest looking into a tool like Mandrill to send your website emails. You can couple a plugin like WP Mail SMTP with Mandrill to start sending emails from their service instead of through your internal web server.
Let me know what you find out and if you have any other questions.

In reply to: [Wired Impact Volunteer Management] Plugin not sending confirmation emailsThanks for reaching out @takingroot and for the kind words about the plugin. I’m sorry to hear you’re running into issues. Unfortunately, reminder emails not going out can be caused by a number of things. Would you mind answering a few questions which will help me to better figure out what’s going on:
- Are you able to send a custom email to the volunteers without a problem? You can do this from each opportunity’s edit screen.
- Is the opportunity that’s not sending emails a one-time volunteer opportunity with a fixed date and time? The system will only send automated reminders if it is, since for flexible opportunities it doesn’t know when the opportunity will take place.
- Is the setting “Number of Days Prior to Opportunity to Send Reminder” set to an integer (4,3,2,etc.) and when you created the opportunity was it farther in the future than that amount? If you set the emails to send 4 days before the opportunity, but opportunity takes place in 2 days when created it won’t send.
- Who is your web hosting provider? Some examples would be Bluehost, GoDaddy and Network Solutions.
Thanks for providing us some more details. That will definitely help us figure out what’s going on.

In reply to: [Wired Impact Volunteer Management] Incorrect confirmation textYou’ll most likely need to look within your theme files for a line of code that reads
<div class="post" id="post-single">. Once you’ve found it you can replace it with the new one we provided.Let me know how it goes.

In reply to: [Wired Impact Volunteer Management] Incorrect confirmation textSince we haven’t heard from you in a little while @carriebsegrist I’m going to go ahead and mark this as resolved. If you have any issues while trying out the code changes please let me know.

That’s a great question Jonathan. The plugin was built almost entirely for the secure backend of WordPress. Anything the board members will need access to will require them to log in via the WordPress backend at example.org/wp-admin.
The only content you can show on the frontend of your website is a list of board members. If you’re interested in that check out the last video on https://wordpress.org/plugins/nonprofit-board-management/faq/.
Does that help answer your questions? On another note, I’m a local beekeeper in St. Louis, so it’s exciting to see a beekeepers association using the plugin.

In reply to: [Wired Impact Volunteer Management] Incorrect confirmation textSounds good. One of your theme files has this line of code in it:
<div class="post" id="post-single">Can you replace it with this line of code:
<div <?php post_class( 'post' ); ?> id="post-single">Also, I’d encourage you to take a backup of your website before making any changes. That way you can revert back if we run into any issues.
Good luck and let me know how it goes.

In reply to: [Wired Impact Volunteer Management] Incorrect confirmation textThanks @carriebsegrist. It looks like the theme isn’t compatible with the styles we have included in the plugin. If you’re comfortable working with your theme files I could talk you through how to adjust it.
Otherwise, we have in our list to make some changes so the plugin will be compatible with more themes.

In reply to: [Wired Impact Volunteer Management] Incorrect confirmation textYou got it. Go to Help & Settings >> click the “General” tab >> click the radio button that reads “Yes, please provide basic styling.” >> click the blue “save changes” button.
Let me know how that works for you.

In reply to: [Wired Impact Volunteer Management] Incorrect confirmation textThanks for reaching out @carriebsegrist and I’m sorry you’re having trouble with the form.
Those lines of content are actually controlled by the CSS of the plugin. Are you able to turn that on in the settings? If not, let me know and I may be able to talk you through how to add the needed custom CSS styling.
Also, we’ve added this to our list for the future so that even when someone has the CSS turned off those lines will still be hidden until needed.
Thanks.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Handling Polls or Motion VotesGlad that last note was able to help you Bob.
Unfortunately, right now there isn’t a way to display the committees and events on the frontend of the website without some custom coding. Our approach was always to have the information be private among the board members. That is outside of the shortcode to list everyone.
Good luck and enjoy the rest of your week.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Handling Polls or Motion VotesHi Bob,
Have you tried clicking on each individual board event to visit its edit screen? On that screen you should be able to see which people voted no.
Let me know that goes. Good luck.
